What credit professionals need to understand to carry out their responsibilities and duties to ensure Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

Description

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes company executives of publicly traded US companies personally and criminally responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the financial disclosures of their companies.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes company executives of publicly traded US companies personally and criminally responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the financial disclosures of their companies. They are required to sign reports that attest to the effectiveness of their companies’ internal controls, including foreign subsidiaries.

Many of these executives are "pushing down" the signoff of these reports to management. Credit professionals need to understand their responsibilities under the Act before they sign off on the effectiveness of the financial controls in their department. The format of the session will be a presentation followed by Q&A.
